Three across

[PennockFive]

I have dd4 and ds3. Both are on the small side. Will we be able to fit on rides three across. At times my DH will be off with ds10 and I'll be doing some things with the littles. Or vice versa. I don't want to plan rides that I can't go on with both of them. Even though dd will be turning 5 on the trip, she is about the same size as my 3 year old. People always think they're twins. I don't want to book a FP only to find out I can't go on with them.

We took our DS4 in 2012 and there were only a couple of rides that we had to split up on... My DH is 6'2" and has a muscular build and the 3 of us fit just fine. I only remember having to sit in different rows on Dumbo and Magic Carpets. But on the magic carpets I feel like there would've been room for the 3 of us. The tomorrowland speedway only has 2 bucket seats, so that one was split for us as well.
On TSMM and Buzz at MK, we all fit in the row but 2 of us had to share a gun.
I had similar concerns before our trip with us being 2 adults/1 child but it worked out fine.

We've done 3 across on most rides. I'm thinking we may have just done two across on Barnstormer - but I'm remembering pretty far back. We were able to do 3 across on Thunder Mountain Railroad. We did 3 across on Toy Story Mania and Buzz - but there's only 2 guns. Plus, that's one you may want to do as a family. We did one adult with each of the younger kids and then the oldest could sit by himself. In the days when the eldest was too young to do that, then I had the youngest in my lap. That helped the youngest reach the blaster too.

We did split up on Speedway, using child swap so each child could get a turn to steer. (Until our eldest was tall enough to go by himself). So, that's another one that it would be easier to plan to do as a family. A child needs to be at least 54" to ride alone, so keep that in mind in case your 10 year old is on the smaller side.

You will not be able to take them on Barnstormer (and I'm assuming 7DMT).

I have seen 1 adult with 2 children on Dumbo and Speedway. (Though I doubt I would do the Speedway as only one child would be able to "drive". I'd do that one with the 5 of you and have the 10 year old drive his own vehicle.)

A few rides that fit 3 easily that may not seem like it: Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, Splash, BTMRR, Winnie the Pooh, Buzz (only 2 lasers), new Little Mermaid ride, Nemo clamshells, Figment.

I have two little peanuts. Both are right around 30in, so any ride that has a requirement is a no go to begin with. It's mainly the "kiddie" rides, that DS10 is probably not interested in that I need three across.
